Join the North American Youth Innovation Challenge Community!

North America is facing urgent and complex sustainability challenges. Citizen leadership—including youth—is more important than ever to keep momentum going toward adoption of cleaner, carbon-neutral technologies and policies that ensure sustainable growth and job creation across North America.

As today’s visionaries and tomorrow’s decision-makers, young leaders will drive the green growth innovations that are critical to a sustainable future.

Canada, Mexico and the United States need innovative science, technology and business solutions to the following shared North American challenges:

Reducing air emissions

Reducing and diverting food waste

Preventing and managing invasive species

Reducing and managing marine litter

Mitigating the impacts of ocean acidification
